TRI/AXLE DUMP TRUCK

Dec 30, 2010 at 09:12 PM CST
Hey everyone. Im an O/O of a tri/axle dump truck. Have my own ICC/MC and all the good stuff. I run PA,NJ,DE. Mostly run all stone. But work is kinda slow and i was looking on these load boards and have seen some end dump loads that start and end in the 3 states i run. But my question is?? Is my body on my truck big enough to handle the volume of light stuff. I can get a 24 ton payload on. But even if i load stone or sand it is pile alittle above my boards. Should i even waste my time calling these people about the loads on here. Is the stuff you guys haul light to where my body wont be big enough to get a good payload. It is 17.5 feet long with 60in sides. Thanks.

Looks like nobody from your area wants to reply. Dont know your idea will work but it can't hurt to try. Your box is to small for any grain or fertilizer to get a full load maybe look into a removeable tip top setup with a good tarp. Add a pintle hook and pull a end dump trailer. With some luck you might find a niche to fill.

There is a company that is looking for somebody to haul scap from Baltimore to a couple of places in PA. You may be able to max out with scrap. Go to the load board. for MD....Best of luck..

Thanks for the replys.

A tri/axle dump taged in PA can not run MD with out 2 different tags and alot of BS. Thats why i dont run MD now. I guess i will just call them up and see what the deal is. Thanks for the replys. LIke i said i get slow every winter till about early march things will pick up and i will be back to stone hauling. Anyone esle want to add there 2cents feel free.

Yeah each state is different on the extra axles...it is a pain in the back side...but it helps to support your states rates as others have the same problem as you do...Good luck
